What extra insurance? I have NOT been able to find additional down time insurance that does NOT include a full policy. I don't know if it is worth it, I have no idea of cost since I can't find any. FEMA can go suck an egg.

and I thought somewhere, somebody would sell you insurance on anything...you know the American Way!...*LOL*

Not that I have been able to find. Our insurance is NOT able to do the job and there is NO option for increasing the down time coverage.

I am going to start shopping for other coverage. I don't like what we have. I HOPE when I do find better insurance I can get down time coverage that is worth something. I learned the hard way on that one. SO, in the mean time, NO HURRICANE loads UNLESS I get it MY WAY. As said SO well by many others in this business: "IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!"

You got that right. That FEMA stuff pays only OK anyway. Besides, with Earl, I won't even be available. I must be home no later than a week from today. I have a VERY important appointment coming that cannot be missed AND that waterfowl festival I work at every year is the 11 and 12 of Sept.

Noo..the house had no gutters at all....this spring all the snow melted at the same time as the rains came...need to re-direct some of the runoff....the water table rose it come from UNDER the basement....I am doing some landscaping around the house as well to better water drainage....lots of low spots around the foundation...

My area people think you are useless if you don't at least try to do something for yourself...

I know exactly what you are saying. I live on a bottom part of a hill, it is a mess when we have a thaw or heavy heavy rain. I now have to contend with a road that is higher than my sidewalk, an unfinished ditch on the side of the place and lot of water washing down the sidewalk taking my lawn with it. The township's response is "the county will help" while the county says it is the townships problem.

Funny thing is we are in the middle of a slight slope...the trailer park is lower then we are...must be all that shale formation and the way the aquafier fills up...
